visual studio 2006

Accepted answer

There is nothing called VisualStudio 2006. It is either VB 6.0 or VisualStudio 2002/2003/2005/2008.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#History

And search according to that, not sure older version are available.

You can still get it from MSDN if you have a current account, but the public downloads have all been dropped. You can only get VS 2008 Express.

Sorry, I got confused. I thought OP was referring to Visual Studio 6.0

I don't believe that there was ever any public / community or free version of Visual Studio 2006 available.

It was available only to the MSDN Subscribers.

So it is difficult that you will find a open link which will allow you to download Visual Studio 2006.
